Chartered Engineer (CEng)

Chartered Engineers (CEng) develop solutions to engineering problems using new or existing technologies, through innovation, creativity and change and/or they may have technical accountability for complex systems with significant levels of risk.

The CEng title is open to anyone who can demonstrate the required professional competences and commitment, as set out in the professional standard UK-SPEC. Individuals generally develop these through education and working experience.

The application process for CEng registration is more straightforward for those with exemplifying academic qualifications. For CEng this is one of the following:

An accredited Bachelors degree with Honours in engineering or technology, plus an appropriate and accredited Masters degree or Engineering Doctorate (EngD), or appropriate further learning to Masters level

An accredited integrated MEng degree

Please note:

If you gained academic qualifications which, at the time you gained them, were recognised as the exemplifying qualifications for CEng, these are still considered to be so.

You can still become a Chartered Engineer without these academic qualifications. Further information about the individual, work-based, assessment process can be found in UK-SPEC and from your professional engineering institution.
